Trump Starts a'Trumpin'

What else did you expect him to do?  And Biden did one more classic Biden move on his way out yesterday, which was a major slap in the face to the FBI.  But we talked about a lot more today, including parting gifts from Hamas, snow near the Gulf of America, and a tribute to Walt Peffer.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Scott Vordiez.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
Trump told the crowd last night, First, I'll revoke nearly
eighty destructive and radical executive actions of the previous administration,
one of the worst administrations in history. So what did
he do? He ordered the United States to withdraw from
the World Health Organization as well as the Paris Climate Accord.

(00:23):
The guy who is handing him the paper, he telled
the guy, He's like, tell everyone how much money this saves.
He's like, this will save a trillion dollars. As hear
that trillion dollars. I don't know over how much time
or whatever. But he formally created Trump did formally created
the Department of Government Efficiency that would be DOZE. Immediately,
one of the dozers, Vavek Ramaswami, said all right, you

(00:45):
guys can take it from here. I'm out. Apparently he's
running for governor of Ohio. He instituted a seventy seventy
five day delay on the TikTok ban. There was a
really funny meme after TikTok was banned for a few
hours on Sunday where you go to the app store

(01:07):
and it's a picture of TikTok and the app store,
but the logo for TikTok had been replaced with a
logo for Spirit Halloween. I had to explain creative though
I thought so too. I'd explained to my kids, you
see a place closes and then Spirit Halloween comes in
there for a few months out of the year. They
didn't think it was funny. I did. Trump declared a

(01:31):
National Energy Emergency in order to allow additional extraction of resources,
such as drill Baby Drill in Alaska. He reversed Biden's
recent action on Cuba. What did Biden do on Cuba?
I have to look that one up.

Speaker 3 (01:47):
Yeah, I don't even know this one.

Speaker 2 (01:50):
Sounds familiar. I can find that right now. I think
I can find that right now. Here we go. You
all got time, right?

Speaker 3 (02:05):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (02:05):
Did you want me to stuff? I just know it's
too much. Too often you turn on radio and there's
a host just trying to fill up every single second
with yelling. Sometimes we just need to take a breath.
Oh yeah. On his way out the door, Biden removed
Kuba from the US list of states that sponsored terrorism. Okay,

(02:26):
Trump said, We're not so sure about that. Gonna need
to see more proof of that.

Speaker 3 (02:32):
How that get past me?

Speaker 2 (02:33):
Yeah, well, I mean, it's just there was a lot
that happened in the last few days. I haven't even
gotten to the slap in the face to our FBI
on Biden's way out the door. We'll get to that momentarily.
What else did Trump do yesterday? He suspended the security
clearance of ex intelligence officials involved in the letter regarding

(02:56):
Hunter Biden's laptop. A memo allowing immediate security clearance for
six months to anyone that he so desires to have
immediate security clearance, but the laptop thing. This was revoking
the security clearances of fifty one national security officials who

(03:17):
claimed the Hunter Biden laptop was a Russian disinformation operation,
including going in front of the media or going on
CNN or MSNBC. We're talking about the former Director of
National Intelligence, James Clapper, who went on to become a
national security analyst on CNN. Former CIA director John Brennan

(03:38):
appears regularly on MSNBC as a senior national security analyst.
These guys came out and said like, no, no, the
laptop doesn't exist. This is all fake news, this is
a Russian disinformation operation. It was all absolutely true, and
so Trump said all right. Everyone is signed onto that letter.

(04:00):
You no longer have security clearance your political operatives. You
are not make America greater againners so those guys all
lost their clearance. He Trump rescinded seventy eight Biden era
executive actions and instituted a hiring freeze and a regulatory freeze,

(04:22):
pausing any new regulations from unelected bureaucrats who work in
some of these offshoot government bureaucracies. He also issued an
order requiring all federal employees to return to work in
the office if so designated. He ordered the Golf of
Mexico to be renamed the Golf of America and for

(04:45):
Denali in Alaska to once again be called Mount McKinley.
I think it was Obama that reversed that one. He
said the government will only recognize two genders, be male
and female, which doesn't change anyone who decid to wear
whatever they want and be named whatever they want. He
pardoned about a fifteen hundred or so people involved in

(05:06):
the twenty twenty one riot at the Capitol, and some
of these are already you know, tied up in court.
Like his attempt to end birthright citizenship. If you come
to this country illegally, and you have a baby here
that should not be an anchor baby. No other nation
on the planet gives you that status. And I know
it's it's something we've done, and it's in it's in

(05:29):
our constitution. So Trump can't just like you know, pen
in a phone executive order. So that's already tied up
in court today. So that's all yesterday and this as
on his way out the door, President Biden issued a
slap in the face of the FBI. Everyone paid attention
to the pardons for members of Biden's family and their

(05:53):
spouses in his last moments in office. He's like, did
I do that? Did I leave the oven on? He
pardoned his three younger siblings and two of their spouses.
He issued blanket pardons for his brother James and his
wife Sarah, his sister Valerying, her husband John, and his
brother Francis. None of them have been charged with a crime.

(06:15):
I've never heard of these people. And he went out
there and said, my family's been subjected to unrelenting attacks
and threats motivated solely by a desire to hurt me,
the worst kind of partisan politics. Unfortunately, I have no
reason to believe these attacks will end. So he issued
these pardons to his family. These members of his family

(06:40):
had nothing to do with anything. There was the one
brother who was working with Hunter, but as far as
like his sister and sister's husband, I don't know. But
it's funny that four years ago, when Trump was leaving
office and there was the thought that Trump was going
to issue some preempty pardons to members of his family,
family or someone, Biden said he shouldn't do that, and

(07:04):
if anyone accepts any of these preemptive pardons, it's an
admission of guilt. But when Biden did it yesterday, it
wasn't an admission of guilt. It was just the worst
kind of partisan politics. And I had to do this
protect my family and blah blah blah blah blah. But
on his way out the door, there's something else President
Biden did that really has gotten no attention. He pardoned

(07:28):
members of his family, but he also commuted the life
sentence of a guy named Leonard Peltier. This was something
that was back when Clinton was leaving office. There were
activists leaning on President Clinton, you've got to do something

(07:51):
about Leonard Peltier. And then when Obama was in office,
please you've got to do something about and other presidents,
democratic presidents decided it was not the right move to
do anything to change the conviction or the sentence of

(08:13):
Leonard Peltier. Who is Leonard Peltier many of you know,
In fact, some of you probably remember the situation, as
it wasn't far away. This was that Pine Ridge Indian
Reservation right on that border of northwest Nebraska southwest South Dakota.

(08:36):
June of nineteen seventy five, there was a lot of
activity involving Native Americans, the indigenous people there, and there
was one guy who had an outstanding federal warrant for
the attempted murder of a police officer. That person who
had that outstanding federal warrant for the attempted murder of

(08:58):
a police officer in Milwauk was Leonard Peltier. So he
had a couple of FBI agents who were up there
looking for another guy, some guy named Jimmy Eagle. He
was wanted for questioning connection with the assault of a
couple of property owners, ranch hands and theft in the area.

(09:19):
Not a huge deal. So these two FBI agents, Ron
Williams and Jack Kohler went up there and they met
with one of the indigenous leaders and said, we're looking
for this guy, Jimmy Eagle. So the activists there, the

(09:45):
Native Americans, knew who these FBI agents were and they
knew what they were doing in this area. The next day,
these two FBI agents come under heavy fire. The vehicle
they were in had one one hundred and twenty five
bullet holes in the vehicle, including many from an AR

(10:07):
fifteen rifle. Leonard Peltier had the AR fifteen rifle. Both
of these FBI special agents, Ron Williams and Jack Kohler
were killed June twenty sixth, nineteen seventy five. Peltier started saying,
I wasn't even there, and then he said, I was there,

(10:29):
but I didn't I didn't shoot anybody, all right, Well, alright,
so I was there and I participated in the shootout,
but I didn't kill these FBI agents. His story changed
like the wind. So Leonard Peltier was convicted in the

(10:51):
nineteen seventy five murders of two FBI agents, life sentence. Yesterday.
On his way out there door, President Biden did what
Presidents Obama and Clinton never did. He commuted the life
sentence of this activist, of this murderer of two FBI agents,
and said you can go home. Leonard Peltier is eighty

(11:15):
years old. Now, I don't know that Leonard Peltier is
going to murder any more FBI agents. But you know,
eighty is the new sixty, no idea. It doesn't matter
to me whether this guy is going to murder any
more FBI agents. What matters to me is you stand

(11:35):
up for the other FBI agents, some of whom these
guys are still alive, they're not still working, but they
remember Ronald Arthur Williams, Jack Ross Kohler. They remember that
situation back in the mid seventies in South Dakota. And

(11:57):
this action by President Biden yesterday is a slap in
the face to FBI and a law enforcement Why did
he do it? Well, there have been these activists who
have been leaning on, as I said, democratic presidents. Bush
wasn't going to do it, Trump wasn't going to do it.

(12:17):
I've been leaning on democratic presidents for decades. They've made
it kind of a hero of this guy, because anyone
who's in prison, who was found guilty of who murdered
police officers or FBI agents or whatever. At some point
we're like, yeah, but look at these poems, you know,

(12:40):
look at this macromay he did. Why this guy has
been making the most fantastic macaroni pictures of anyone in
this federal penitentiary. He couldn't possibly have done it. Even
if he did, that was a long time ago. He
was a kid when he did it. He didn't mean to.
After all, no one else in society has ever found
guilty or made to a stand trial or punishment for

(13:03):
anything they actually do. Why should this guy have to? So?
Biden's like, okay, what do I care? And on his
way out the door, says, Leonard Peltier can go home.
I don't know what. Where's home? He's still got a
wife and kids waiting for him. Lenny, Baby, we left

(13:27):
everything just the way you had it, which I'm guessing
on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation is based on the
conditions up there, probably not that great. Go home? Where
who's taken in? Lenny? What's he got for home? A

(13:47):
whole lot more than Ron Williams and Jack Kohler. Those
guys are dead one hundred and twenty five bullet holes
in their vehicle or vehicles, most of them from an
AR fifteen that was on by and had fingerpets on
up by Leonard Peltier, and Biden thought, oh that's enough.

(14:09):
I mean, who among us hasn't kind of sort of
maybe accidentally killed two FBI agents. You know, when people
are cheering for President Trump, I know there are a
lot of people who say, just listen to him. He

(14:29):
just goes he's just bebe bye Bee, says the craziest things.
I don't know what he's talking about. I don't know
that he knows what he's talking about all the time.
It's for situations like this, it's standing up for the
rule of law, standing up for law enforcement, standing up

(14:50):
for our military, calling attention to what happened in Afghanistan
with that botched pull out, and then this pre empty
pardon of the general involved with the botched pullout and
the killing of American members of our military, thirteen of them,
including one from Omaha. Milly got a pardon from President Biden.

(15:17):
Biden four years ago said if you sign a preempty pardon,
that's an admission of guilt, because he thought Trump was
doing that. But when Biden did it, it was totally fine.
Was Milly uh making an admission of guilt killing members
of our military. Was doctor Anthony Fauci making an admission
of guilt for taking that preempted pardon by President Biden

(15:40):
yesterday for what he did to cripple this nation, And
this commutation of the sentence of Leonard Peltier absolutely disgusting.
Something else happened yesterday, Lucy. There are some people that
say that Trumps this oath of office yesterday.

Speaker 3 (16:01):
Didn't count well the one we saw.

Speaker 2 (16:06):
The one we saw. Do you care to well?

Speaker 3 (16:11):
I thought that I had read some place that he'd
really already been.

Speaker 2 (16:15):
You're thinking of Aborn, you're thinking of eight years ago.
There I was there was he said things out of order,
and just to be sure, they went back inside and
did it again, just to make sure it was all good.

Speaker 3 (16:30):
That's what I'm thinking of.

Speaker 2 (16:33):
Well, placing or well taking the oath of office yesterday
at the inauguration there at the Capitol of Rotunda. President Trump,
despite the fact that his wife, Milania smooth criminal Trump,
who was wearing the Michael Jackson the barbershop kind of
looking hat, not a bowler hat, got a different name

(16:56):
to it, box hat. I guess she looked like she
had an all pulled down over her face like Michael
Jackson in the Smooth Criminal video. Did you see that?

Speaker 3 (17:06):
Oh? I saw her. I don't know. Yah.

Speaker 2 (17:08):
Then and then she hit the lean while asking whether
or not Annie was okay. It was amazing. So Milania
was there wearing the outfit from the Michael Jackson Smooth
Criminal video and looking great, by the way, fabulous. There
were two people at the inauguration yesterday who had who

(17:30):
were noted as having, you know, bare legs. She had
on a skirt with bare legs. And John Fetterman was
also there wearing his hoodie and his shorts and his sneakers.
It's the inauguration of the President of the United States.
Maybe mix in Parakhakis. Do you have dockers? I don't
think that guy has dockers. Whatever. Milania is there holding

(17:54):
not one, but two bibles. One was the Bible that
President Abraham Lincoln used to take the oath of office
in eighteen sixty one. The other one was a personal
bible that belonged to President Trump, one he received from
his mother. So she's holding a pile of bibles. Trump

(18:19):
was asked to place his hand on the Bible and
raise his right hand to be sworn in. Well, generally
that's what you do. But his left hand remained at
his side, knowing if he touched the Bibles, smoke would
come bill, his skin would bubble, smoke would a rise
from the Bibles. Trump's hand on the Bible, so he

(18:41):
didn't touch them. And people said he didn't touch the Bibles.
That means the oath of office doesn't count. There is
no actual legal requirement that you have to touch, have
your hand hover over, be in the vicinity of or
even have a Bible present. It's just something we do.

Speaker 3 (19:04):
Well. Would people be okay with it? If we eventually
someday elect a president that is not of any Christian background,
we will like maybe anti Christian.

Speaker 2 (19:15):
I'm sure that when they when that day comes, someone
will have a goat skull. You know, some leggings on
which will John Fetterman will fit right in. I'm wearing
my leggings, my basketball leggings, and my hoodie with the
goat head on it. Yeah. Here's what the Oath of

(19:37):
Office says. And Article six, Class three of the United
States Constitution. Get your Constitution. I will read along states
that while elected officials are bound to support the Constitution
by oath or affirmation, no religious test shall ever be
required as a qualification to any office or public trust
under the United States. So he did not play his

(20:00):
hand on the Bibles during the oath of office yesterday.
Now he did in twenty seventeen, but they jacked up
the phrasing, and so they went in there with the
I think it was John Roberts, the Supreme Court Chief
Justice who was administering that. They went in to the
hallway and said, should we, just for posterity do this

(20:23):
again to make sure we got it right. He placed
his hand on the Bibles then, but he didn't do
it yesterday.

Speaker 3 (20:30):
I understand that the judge said to jd Vance, put
place your hand on the Bible, and did not say
that to Trump. And Millennia was coming up on the
side of him, kind of haphazardly or hurriedly.

Speaker 2 (20:49):
She doesn't do anything haphazardly. She does everything elegantly.

Speaker 3 (20:53):
Okay, maybe elegantly elegantly, but hurriedly up next to him,
having not been to place his hand on the Bible
when there's so much going on, He's waiting for her
to come up next to him. The judge started almost
before she even was in place.

Speaker 2 (21:11):
I don't know. I was listening to that part on
the radio, didn't see it. Some of us had to
work yesterday, Lucy.

Speaker 3 (21:19):
Huh, huh, what's that like, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (21:22):
You took the company holiday off.

Speaker 3 (21:25):
Yeah, I spent it here.

Speaker 2 (21:27):
I know I didn't see you yesterday, and you're like,
what are you doing here? Thanks for listening. I did
this show, then, I did Emory show yesterday.

Speaker 3 (21:38):
I was here. I would have come over and helped
you on your.

Speaker 2 (21:40):
Show, but I worked almost a full day. By people's standards,
come on, now, this is exhausting. So they're saying like, well,
this is like the Princess Bride rule. Remember a Buttercup
Mary's Humperdink? But did you say I do now, we
kind of skipped that part. You didn't say it, You
didn't do it. People said, this is the Princess Bride rule.

Speaker 3 (22:03):
He said, everything a.

Speaker 2 (22:05):
Minor technicality that'll soon be remedied. I can do the
whole movie if you want. I love the Princess Bride. So,
as it turns out, it did count. Sorry, Trump is
the president of the United States. You were lied to

(22:25):
yesterday though, and I fell for it too. I didn't
think about why Lucy wasn't here yesterday and what that
might have to do with a story we were told
yesterday about these people we were seeing who were crying
at CPB one. CPB one. Wasn't that a Chris Rock movie?

Speaker 3 (22:46):
That was That was CPB fourteen.

Speaker 2 (22:49):
No, that was CB one. Sorry. At c BP one,
this is the Customs Border Protection Office where if you
want entry into the United States, well, you're gonna have
to work for it. You're gonna have to stand in line,
you're gonna have to get to this office. You're gonna

(23:10):
have to say I am here to make my case
for asylum. And they say, well, we could either do
that now or we can issue you a court date
seven years from now. In the meantime, please come into
the United States of America, don't touch anything, and come
back here to this court room in seven years and
we'll hear your case for asylum. And they're like, that's it,

(23:31):
that's it, see you later, and they're like later, suckers,
and they head into the United States. Well, yesterday that
office was closed and people were showing up saying, but
I had an appointment at one o'clock, but they just
set a notification and said that since Trumps president, they
just closed everything down. I've been waiting. I'm in here

(23:52):
all night. It's cold, and the wolves are after me,
and now I can't get my appointment. It's because Trump
was I came here for this appointment, and it turns
out that's a total lie.

Speaker 3 (24:06):
A total lie. And did I hear wolves in there?

Speaker 2 (24:09):
Yeah? It's a line from the Simpsons. I should ding
that one too. Grandpa says, oh, please let me in.
It's cold and the wolves are after me. He's outside
the Simpsons home. I just always no, well, no, that's
not that's an actual There apparently actually wolves out there
in Springfield. You don't know. I just always liked that line.

Speaker 3 (24:31):
You have to define which Springfield you're talking about, not.

Speaker 2 (24:35):
When talking about the Simpsons, you don't. It's just Springfield,
every state America. Why was it a lie that these
people say I was told to come here. I had
a meeting today with all this. Why is that a lie? Yesterday?

Speaker 3 (24:51):
Well, who's lying? Are the people lying?

Speaker 2 (24:54):
The media? Do they have the media and the orchestrators
the same ones as said, oh Trump, Trump just outlawed, outlaw,
outlawed birthright citizenship. I just happened to have two people
here and I think New Hampshire who came into this
country totally illegally, except that it's illegal because they're not
here with any kind of real status, just some temporary

(25:17):
stuff that Biden let And they're gonna have a baby
born here in America. That means that's an American citizen baby.
And we just happened to already file a lawsuit in
the moments after Trump tried to outlaw birthright citizenship. It's
almost like they had everything ready to go and they
knew it was coming. Same thing with the media yesterday

(25:37):
showing people crying there at a southern border going I
was just about to get in this club, and then
they moved the velvet rope over and said, sorry, clubs closed.
Moose out front should have told you. And then there's
a reason why all of that yesterday the people down
there orchestrated that Geppetto was down there with the media

(25:58):
showing them all right, and make sure and whip up
some tea and start crying to say, you had a
meeting today. Why is that a lie? Why weren't you
at work yesterday.

Speaker 3 (26:07):
Because it was Martin Luther King Junior Day. It's a
federal holiday to honor him. Yes, the federal holiday. That's
why they didn't get letters. It said that.

Speaker 2 (26:16):
There well, no, there was a notification on the social
media channels like the website of this. Yeah, well that
it was no that that the policy had changed, that
you now have to remain in Mexico before your case
for asylum is heard. This same policy that existed under
President Trump's first term. But these the media saying, here's

(26:38):
someone crying. We made sure to find the most sympathetic
looking people we could possibly find. You know, let's get
the guy who came in here with his pockets overflowing
with fentanyl, who had a bunch of you know, kids
with him he was going to use for trafficking. They
weren't his kids. The guy who had tattoos on his face. Uh,
you know that guy didn't end up in the media yesterday.

(27:01):
It was you know old women, you know, old women
like in their thirties, you know, old women and uh,
and people with little kids. I hear hold this stuffed animal,
cry I don't want to cry. Bang it, punch them
in the face. Now cry all right, get get the
video and cry and saying I had a meeting at

(27:23):
twelve oh one, and then Trump was sworn in at
noon Eastern time, and my meeting got canceled. If I'd
been here five minutes ago, I'd be in that great
America in the sky. Like it's not in the sky,
it's right over there. Oh yeah, if i'd been here
five minutes ago, I'd be in America. But no, I'll
never get here, and it's all a lie. The offices

(27:46):
weren't open yesterday. No one had an appointment yesterday, the
federal holiday. Yesterday, there was no one there except the
media saying, what a tremendous opportunity orchestrated by the Democrats
to make sure that you know that now that Trump's
in office, people are gonna cry and die at the
southern border and here in America, people are gonna you know,

(28:08):
we got the Gestapo going door to door looking for
anyone with so much as a decent tan. Hey, you
look hispanic to me get out. You know, that's that's
what's gonna happen. Now. We even had a video put
out by Omaha Mayor Jean Stothard and police Chief Todd Schmater.

(28:29):
We'll address that coming up after your next opportunity to
win one thousand dollars that keyword at ten oh five,
and then we'll listen to the video by Mayor Stothart.

Speaker 1 (28:40):
Scott Voice News Radio eleven ten KFAB.

Speaker 2 (28:45):
Lanta Atlanta or Lana. One of those sent me an
email via the Zonker's custom woods inbox, got a kfab
dot com and said, also Milania and it's pictures from
Mad magazine. Spy versus.

Speaker 3 (29:01):
That's who I kept saying. I didn't want to say
it though, so thank you for suing.

Speaker 2 (29:06):
That's that's funny. But she looks great. She looked absolutely great. Yesterday,
Judy sent me a screenshot of the current temperature in
Grand Rapids, Minnesota. There's a Grand Rapids, Minnesota. Why not? Yeah,
but it's cold minus twenty six. The wind chill is

(29:26):
forty four below zero in Grand Rapids, Minnesota.

Speaker 3 (29:34):
Well it's Minnesota.

Speaker 2 (29:35):
Yeah, I know that's bad. The people there are like
girsh you know, it's and that's more of a Wisconsin thing.
But I know that they realize that, you know who
I feel, especially, I don't know, bad.

Speaker 3 (29:48):
For the ice fishermen. That have to now dig their
ice holes even deeper.

Speaker 2 (29:53):
What'd you call me? No, the people, baby drill, the
people in Houston.

Speaker 3 (30:02):
Oh yeah, I mean in Louisiana.

Speaker 2 (30:05):
Yeah, in Minnesota. Yeah, it gets cold, you get snow,
it gets really cold. Houston, they're getting like a half
a foot of snow right now.

Speaker 3 (30:14):
It will last.

Speaker 2 (30:15):
I know, it'll be gone by probably the end of today.
Certainly here in the next couple of days. It pops
back up in the fifties and sixties. But for the
kids in Houston, they're like, can we go play in
the snow? I've never been able to say that in Houston,
right does it? Do we usually get snow?

Speaker 3 (30:35):
Houston's a little south. I know that. Dallas and yeah, Dallas,
but he Dallas does get a little bit of Houston's.

Speaker 2 (30:41):
And the golf it's right there in the Gulf of America.

Speaker 3 (30:44):
They normally do, but they might. I've been there once,
but it was in July, so there wasn't any snow
when I was there.

Speaker 4 (30:52):
Per year.

Speaker 2 (30:53):
How much snow does Houston get per year? The average
annual snowfall is barely above zero. It's less than the
measurable amount. And right now, at last check they have
between six and eight inches of snow. I know, I know,
I know there's people that are like, we told you
climate change, Like, yeah, I know, climate change is whatever

(31:18):
it is that you say it is whenever the weather
does something kookie, which is every year, every year we've
been alive, every year humans have been alive, every year
the humans will be alive, the weather somewhere will do
something wacky. That's why they say, wow, look at the
temperature here. It hasn't been this hot or cold or
windy or snowy or rainy since eighteen fifty seven. Ah. Yeah,

(31:44):
the damn climate change of the eighteen fifties get you
every time it's just kookie weather stuff. Or they'll say like, oh,
the temperature on this day, it hasn't been this cold
on this day since eighteen fifty seven. Again, but then
you look at like what it was the day after

(32:05):
the day after today, and you look at one day
as a slice and make that your determination for what
climate change is or whether or not it's man made. Look,
I've always said this about this whole idea about climate change,
global warming. Whatever, tell me what you want me to do?
What do you want me to do? Because right now
the idea is, well, sign up for this Global Climate Accord,

(32:28):
the Paris Climate Accord, and start paying a bunch of
money before you actually have to do anything. Meanwhile, the
nations that are the worst polluters on the planet will
not sign this climate accord. They won't be paying anything,
and they'll continue to do whatever is necessary to create
jobs and industry and whatever it is that they're doing.

(32:49):
And they'll be happy to do it because we're buying
all the stuff from them. But by all means, sign
up for this. Like, I don't know what you want
me to do. I turn the lights off when I
leave the room. I recycle stuff until the recycling bin
gets too full. Then I throw it in the trash
and I get yelled at by my wife. What do

(33:09):
you want me to do? To put all this stuff
in the back of my car and take it to
the recycling place. Turns out that's exactly what she wants
me to do. It's criminal, I tell you, it's criminal. Now.
I've covered this extensively over the past year as it
was thought that hey, you know, Trump might get reelected,
and people are like, that's not gonna happen. There's no

(33:31):
chance of that happening, Hell will freeze over before Trump
is reelected. By the way, what was the temperature yesterday
in Hell when Trump was being resworn in as now
the forty seventh president of the United States. I bet
it was below winchill. So after Trump was reelected, there's

(33:52):
been no stopping the stories national local media saying well,
here's what we think is going to happen when Trump
starts the immigration raids. Here's a family saying, well, we're
just afraid that my father is gonna leave for work
in the morning and he's not gonna come back. He's

(34:15):
gonna be swept up in the Trump immigration raids. He's
gonna be sent off to some country he's never been.
He's a he's a dreamer. He was brought here as
a little kid by his parents illegally into this country,
and all he's ever known is this country. And he
grew up here. He didn't have status. He never decided
to get that. He's gonna go off to work as
a as a doctor, and he's gonna be in the

(34:35):
middle of surgery saving someone's life, and Trump and Tom
Holman are gonna walk in there and go there. He
is get him and they're gonna last on him like
a baby calf. And then they're gonna they're gonna hog time,
and they're gonna put him in the back of Air
Force o Cho, and they're gonna send him someplace he's

(34:57):
never been, and he's gonna have defend for himself. This
is never what the Trump administration has been talking about.
As I said, as I've said several times, do you
have any idea how many people are occupying space in
America's jails, America's prisons who are in this country illegally?

(35:18):
How many people are on watch lists who are in
this country illegally. We're talking about bad dudes in this
country illegally. We're paying, You're paying for them to be
in a local jail somewhere, but not so much in
Omaha because once Joe Biden got into office in twenty
twenty one, they started to put the pressure on communities

(35:42):
like Douglas County, Nebraska, causing them to start breaking up
with ICE Immigration Customs Enforcement. So here is the letter
I've been pointing you towards throughout much of the past year,
dated September twenty second, twenty twenty one, sent to the

(36:03):
contracting Officer of Immigration Customs Enforcement from Michael Myers, not
that Michael Myers, nor that Michael Myers, whether it's the
Killer or Austin Powers, it's Michael Myers, Director of Corrections
for Douglas County. And it's a quick letter. It says,
this letter serves as written notice of Douglas County's intent

(36:24):
to terminate our agreement with Immigration Customs Enforcement. We have
determined that continuing this agreement is no longer in the
best interests of the Department of Corrections or Douglas County.
We will honor all terms of the agreement for the
period of one hundred and twenty days from today's date,
per Article nine of our agreement. Please feel free to
contact me with any questions or concerns you have regarding

(36:45):
this matter. Respectfully, Michael Myers, Director of Corrections for Douglas County.
And it was that action that caused Omaha to be
put on lists of sanctuary cities. In Omaha's like, we're
not a sanctuary city. Like when it comes to Douglas County,
it's it's action like that where we broke up with Ice.

(37:08):
We were pressured to break up with Ice. But so
what does That mean means if you're in the country
illegally and you're detained by whether it's Omaha police or
Douglas County sheriffs or even detained by Immigration Customs Enforcement.
They might detain someone and say, we got a bad

(37:29):
dude here, bad hombre. Can you guys hold him for
us while we await processing. And there's gonna be processing,
there's gonna be a trial. They're gonna be a hearing
and a trial in the meantime. We don't want to
release him and say come back to this courtroom. He's
a flight risk, so we want to detain him. Will

(37:51):
you detain him in Douglas County? And Douglas County said nope, no,
absolutely not. So what happened either they were released or
Potawatamee County would take them. We talked with the sheriff
of Pottawatamee County a few months ago in this program,

(38:12):
and he said, yeah, we'll take them, uh one, because
it's keeping the community safe. And also we get a
ton of money from Immigration Customs Enforcement when we detain
one of their guys. It's gonna be for a while.
We get a bunch of money. We got the space
so to win win. So that is the current status

(38:39):
of what happens with immigration in our community. Here's what
Omaha Mayor Jean Stothard and Omaha Police Chief Todd Schmater
said in a video address to the community released last night.

Speaker 4 (38:53):
I'm Mayor Jean Stothard.

Speaker 5 (38:55):
And I'm Omaal Police Chief Tod Schmater. We are aware
of reports of federal immigrations pheps and detainments and some
cities may take place. The Omaha Police Department has no
plans to participate in any rates, nor have we been
made aware of any in Omaha.

Speaker 4 (39:10):
We understand this uncertainty creates concerns and fear. Enforcing immigration
law is the responsibility of federal law enforcement agencies, not
the Omaha Police Department.

Speaker 5 (39:22):
We assure you that omal police officers do not and
will not stop individuals to check their legal status. This
is not the mission or duty of the Omah Police Department.

Speaker 4 (39:31):
You will also not be questioned about your legal status
if you call nine to one one. Whether you are
the victim of a crime or a witness to a crime,
do not be afraid to call in an emergency. Omaha
is not a sanctuary city and Omaha Police officers will
respond and help.

Speaker 5 (39:49):
If, however, any person commits a crime, they can be
subjected to the policies of federal agencies. In those cases,
the Omah Police Department must cooperate with our federal partners
only as outlined in our policies and according to federal law.

Speaker 4 (40:03):
We are committed to making Omaha a safe city for
everyone who lives in visits here and keeping you informed.

Speaker 2 (40:11):
Now, in case you're thinking, why didn't they release that
in you know, Hungarian? It seems like a lot of
the illegal immigrants we have around here probably Hungarian or
some sort of old world Gaelic or something. It does
go on.

Speaker 5 (40:29):
And in Spanish.

Speaker 2 (40:32):
Okay, yeah, I guess that that that makes sense. So yes,
they released that video statement in Spanish as well. That
was maristoth Uh doing the Spanish on that one. Amazing, huh.
It wasn't meyristother that would be Officer Perez with Officer
Falcone who also released the same video statement in Espanola.

(40:58):
So people are like, so tone deaf, I got an
email use that phrase tone deaf sent to Scott atkfab
dot com. Here it is says from Kate sending that
video out immediately the evening of Inauguration Day was either
incredibly tone deaf to the will of citizens or a
slap in the face to legal citizens, as the need

(41:20):
to pander to illegal aliens ranked higher. Disappointing and disgusting.
That's from Kate, sent to Scott atkfab dot com. I'll
tell you why they did the video and send it
out because they've been saying that over and over again,
because there's one media outlet in our community that consistently

(41:43):
puts out one or two media outlets in our community
that consistently puts out video. Going just a few more
days until Trump's immigration rates start, Here's what you can
expect if you get stopped by immigration mean they asked
to see your papers. Here's what you can say, here's
your rights. We reached out to mayor stother and she said,

(42:04):
our policy hasn't changed. Well, what does that mean, Well,
you know what it means. It's KMTV three that is
consistently putting out story after story about what happens when
the Trump Gestapo comes to town, and none of this

(42:27):
is actually what has been stated is happening. Again. We've
got bad guys in prisons we're paying for him to
be here. Bad people on watch lists. There's also going
to be a push, I imagine, as there should be
if you're in the country illegally and you haven't committed
any other crimes. There is a process. It's the same

(42:53):
process that existed under four years of Biden that went
unenforced despite being the law of the land. Say process
that existed or Trump and Obama and Bush and go
back and back, and it's the same process that's existed
since we started the Well, this is a one time
amnesty back in I think nineteen eighty six under President Reagan,
and since then it's happened a couple of dozen times.

(43:15):
You know it's gonna happen again. There's a process where
you can seek status in this country. I would recommend
that you don't want them to come to you. And
again that's not going to be door to door or
anything like that. You're picked up for speeding or whatever,

(43:41):
you go and get a license for this or that.
In some communities that's going to trigger like, hey, you're
not a you have no status in this country. And
that doesn't mean immediate deportation. Let's say it did. Let's
say they said, yep, immediate deportation, deport Where who's going

(44:01):
to take you? Who's going to take you there? I mean,
have you ever tried to get an uber when the
bar is closed? And that's for a couple of dozen drunks.
If we're talking about thirty million illegal immigrants in this country,
that's a lot of ubers. What are they going to do?
The pick you all up, take you a southern border,
and go well, here's your stop, get out. You know,

(44:23):
that's the process for this immediate deportation idea that they
want you to think is about to happen. Is ridiculous.
Who's going to take you, What nation is going to
take you? What pressure is going to be put on
certain countries to take in the worst of the worst.
What negotiation is underway? We've seen some of that already.

(44:48):
Mostly what Trump wants is if you are in this
country and you're picked up and you've committed theft or
assault or something like that, and you're released back into society,
like all right, come back to this courtroom on this
date for your hearing, and then we never see that

(45:08):
person again. That's what the Lake and Riley Act that
was voted on by the Senate last night, a lot
of Democrats signed up on that one. That's what the
Lake and Riley Act is about, because there are too
many people who ended up being murdered or attacked otherwise

(45:29):
victimized by illegal immigrants who already had plenty of interaction
with the police. And even though this person's an obvious
flight risk in the country illegally with gang ties in
some instances and several arrests, we just kept releasing them
in society to commit more crimes. This says you're going

(45:49):
to be detained and you could very well be deported.
Is that you? Is that your family here in Omaha? No,
hope not so. This idea that oh Trump's gestapo is
gonna come door to door and they're gonna be going
through this high school and that community, and they're gonna
be looking for anyone with a decent tan and they're

(46:11):
gonna round them up and get them out. That has
no basis in reality. But the media keeps asking Mayor
Stothard keeps answering the question. So finally they put out
the video in English and Spanish so that people could
see what the longtime stated practices of Omaha would be.

(46:33):
The police Department the city. Now you want to put
some pressure on someone, how about the Douglas County Board,
the Douglas County Commissioners in the corrections office in Douglas
County that said, I break with the ice. We don't
want anything to do with you anymore. We're not going
to detain your people. Has that changed? Not yet? Should it? Oh? Yeah,

(46:54):
absolutely it should. Scott at kfab dot com you can
email me as well.

Speaker 1 (47:00):
We Scott Voice News Radio eleven ten KFAB.

Speaker 2 (47:05):
Monica emails says, Hi, Scott, I normally listen from my
home in Omaha, but my husband and I traveled to Rockport,
Texas for a few weeks to get away from the
winter cold of Omaha. I'm listening to you this morning
on iHeartRadio. Hoping My house pipes are okay back in
the Big Oh. But our rental house here in Rockport

(47:28):
faces the Gulf of America. The golf seems a bit
angry today. It's thirty two degrees ice is pelting our house.
So much for escaping winter. The weekend promises much better
at tempts stay warm. That's Monica on winter break in
on the Gulf of America, where snow and ice are

(47:50):
pelting her home. Houston has got like six to eight
inches of snow right now.

Speaker 3 (47:55):
Are you suggesting that Houston has a.

Speaker 2 (47:58):
Problemston, We have a snowy problem. Here's the other problem.
And Angie points this out. So I lived in Houston
right after I graduated from college in the eighties. It
never snowed, but we did have ice a few times.
And I kid you not. Their idea of winter weather
road maintenance in Houston is a couple of guys in
the back of pickup trucks with sand and like shovels

(48:20):
throwing sand on the road.

Speaker 3 (48:22):
Did it work.

Speaker 2 (48:24):
No. When you get south of I'd say probably like
Oklahoma City and south, they don't have anything to treat
the roads if there's ice in snow. I've been in
Oklahoma City when there was just a very very slight
glaze of ice. The city shut down. No one knew

(48:47):
how to deal with it except me. I'm driving going,
get out of the way. Now. As far as the
message we had for you a moment ago from Mayor
of Stothart and the police chief, Todd Schmater regarding deportations
in the city's role and all this corly emails Scott

(49:10):
at kfab dot com and said, thank you for playing
that message from chief schmater. Will there be a synergy
of influence when it comes to deportations? As you recall,
our police chief is not just a hunky police chief.

(49:30):
He's also a dreamy author, having written a book called
Synergy of Influence. A small town Midwestern cop meets a
small town Omaha mayor. They decide it's time to figure

(49:51):
out what to do with the big bad president's deportation orders. Synergy, love, influence, influence, energy.
Thank you Corley for allowing me to bust out the
synergy of influence music. Haven't used that in a few months.
Neil emails. I found it funny in the Omaha Scanner

(50:16):
comment section on Facebook, the Libs keep bringing up that
local businesses won't have any workers because they're all illegals.
Neil asks any good responses to that. Yeah, some of
that's true, Neil, But yeah, I do have a great

(50:38):
response to this. I've never blamed anyone who wants to
come to this country and put in the work. Our
country has a horrible immigration policy that rewards criminals and
makes good people want to come here to better their lives.
And the lives of their family makes them sit there
and wait. You know, it's if I had the opportunity

(51:03):
to come to America illegally and support my family, I'd
crawl over miles and miles of broken glass to do so.
And you would too. I don't blame these guys. If
they want to come here, they want to work, they
want to put in the effort, they want to raise
their families here. I don't blame them one bit. But
the reason why a lot of these businesses are more
than happy to employ illegal immigrants is because your teenage

(51:26):
kid is sitting there doing his hair and won't work
because you won't have your kids your teenagers go out
there and work. They don't learn the value of work
when they're teenagers, when they turn fifteen and sixteen years old.
When used to be, we were all getting jobs, learning
the value of work, putting in the effort. And so
therefore when they go through high school and then into

(51:48):
college and the out of college, they're like, why would
I go get a job. I'm twenty four, I've never
worked a day in my life. So you know who
wants to work illegal immigrants? I know this is probably
not the response you wanted here, Neil, But it is
the reality of the situation. And the worst part of
all is these unions in America, These unions who have

(52:12):
to try and compete for contracts against businesses that hire
illegal workers, pay them next to nothing, and then they're
able to outbid the unions. The unions know all this,
and they keep voting for and pushing for the mindset
that brings more and more illegal immigrants into this country.
When they say the system is broken, it's all of
the system. Why did Trump get elected? I think it

(52:34):
was a lot more union guys that supported him and
his border policies than previously from union workers in this country.
That's what I think. Now, it's up to you to
put your kids to work. I'm I'm putting. And Lucy's

(52:56):
a teenager. She's sixteen years old and she comes in
here every morning does Timesaver traffic updates before school. That's
why she's off at eleven. She goes a half day
to school and she can drive herself now because she's
got a driver's license.

Speaker 3 (53:13):
Who is this person you're talking about.

Speaker 2 (53:14):
It's Lucy Chapman, it's you. We got a Fox News update,
just a couple of minutes away. I talked with a
couple of people who were in Washington, d C. Yesterday.
Good morning, I'm Scott Vorhees here with Lucy Chapman on
news radio eleven ten KFAB, and they said, we expected
to see a lot of protesters here. Maybe it was
too cold, or maybe they just like, you know, what

(53:37):
are we gonna do? We put the full court protesting
press on eight years ago and then throughout the election
of twenty twenty four, and where did that get us?
Trump is more popular than he's ever been. I don't think.
I don't think people like us protesting. So that's why

(53:58):
yesterday afternoon I talked with the head of the Nebraska
Democratic Party. I was doing Emery Show yesterday two to
six here on eleven ten KFAB. Had Jane Kleb on
the show and said, you good, You all right? And
you know, I'm trying to reach out to a friend
of a different political persuasion to make sure she was okay,
and she started in going, you haven't had me on

(54:21):
the radio with you since April Fool's Day. We did
the NPRFAB bit together, I guess, and I haven't had
her on since then. And I said really, I haven't
had you on since April. She goes no. I said, well,
maybe if you put up a viable candidate for state
wide office once in a while, have a reason to talk.

Speaker 3 (54:44):
How'd she like that?

Speaker 2 (54:45):
She didn't say you good, you are right? So I said,
what's making you happy? She talked about stuff for kids
were doing.

Speaker 3 (54:54):
Well, that's cool. Yeah, you gotta find it happy.

Speaker 2 (54:57):
I know, well, there's reason to be happy. There were
even a couple of times that yesterday when we were
carrying the speech by President Trump after his oath of office,
there even a couple of times that President Biden and
Vice President Harris got up and clapped. And I think
the only time that comes to mind was and they

(55:18):
talked about how hostages were being released in the Middle East.
But now we're hearing something very strange about that. I
talked yesterday about Emily Demari, who's now I think twenty
eight years old, and she's one of those who was
released along with a couple of other women by Hamas

(55:39):
on Sunday under the terms of the new ceasefire. And
she came out was immediately taken to the hospital because
she had a couple of her fingers blown off by
Hamas when she was getting shot at, and of course
she wasn't treated, she was just left there. And they
finally released her and a few others yesterday, but without

(56:02):
a little gift pack. These women said, when we were
set free, before we were released by the Hamas militants,
we were handed a gift bag, a little parting gift, like, hey,
thanks a lot for being a guest with us here

(56:22):
these last how many days are we talking about? Several
hundred days. We really appreciate you being here. I hope
that you'll give us a five star review on Yelp.
And here are some tokens of esteem. They included a

(56:43):
release certificate. Someone drew this up, a release certificate, a necklace.
It's a little something. The boys all pitched in and
wanted to give you a necklace. And then photos of
them during their time and captivity, like what lounging by

(57:06):
the corner of their cell.

Speaker 3 (57:08):
Who the captives of the captive? Well, the hostages, I
don't it just said, yeah, you know, I.

Speaker 2 (57:17):
Guess when I saw that, you know, they got photos,
I presumed it was photos of them. There could have
been photos of their captors, which is kind of dumb. Yeah,
here's uh, here's Cassim in case anyone's coming to look
for anyone who was one of the Hamas hostage takers.
But so far all of the bags were confiscated by

(57:40):
Israeli intelligence. They said, we think it's an attempt by
Hamas to kind of present itself as a not a
bunch of murdering terrorists.

Speaker 3 (57:52):
With a necklace.

Speaker 2 (57:55):
I bet that one of the girls, like, huh, an
American girl would probably be Yeah, an American girl will
probably be like that. I don't know. But there was
also the idea that they meant it as just sick humor.

Speaker 3 (58:09):
Right, that's where I would go. Or there's something about
the necklaces that has some kind of electronics or something
which would be found out very quickly.

Speaker 2 (58:20):
Maybe they learned from the exploding pagers one of my
very favorite stories of twenty twenty four. I can't disagree
when they gave it wasn't Hamas, it was has Belah.
These guys were hanging out in Libya or Yemen or whatever,
and they said, hey, guys, we got all these boxes
of who ordered the pagers. Guys are like, I don't know,

(58:43):
nineteen eighty six. No, this is a great way, like
a low tech way. We can communicate with each other.
You can send each other messages, and we're kind of
off the grid. In fact, that's what it says on
the instructions. All of us need to wear these pages
and carry them with us, and whoever sent us the
pagers is going to give us some very important instructions soon.

(59:05):
So you better have this nearby, okay, And then pagers
start beeping, Oh, we got a message. What's the message say?
It says eight zero zero eight seven three five five,
And if you know what that means, then you are
truly a male child of the eighties. Eight zero zero

(59:30):
eight seven three five five.

Speaker 3 (59:32):
I don't know what the seven three five five is.

Speaker 2 (59:34):
You put that in your calculator and you hold it
upside down and it looks like it spells boobless.

Speaker 3 (59:41):
So you want to be boobless.

Speaker 2 (59:44):
I don't know. It's just well, someone figured out you
could do eight zero zero eight and it looks like
it says boob and then someone else like, hey, I
can do it, and so yeah, boobless. I don't know why.
Super funny. There's also a math equation where it's ends
up saying loose, but that's a pretty dirty math equation,

(01:00:05):
and I think I could probably do it anyway. These
guys pagers go off and it says like I presume
it says boob nine one one or something. They're like,
what is this? And they were dead pagers blowing up
very bad people one by one. And then and now

(01:00:26):
that's an awesome story. But the most awesome part of
that story was is that these guys were all blowing up,
and then the next day more of them were blowing up.
Because I only presume that they all got the message,
like in the Hesbalass summer camp or something one of
their other camps. They're like, all right, we got to

(01:00:48):
get rid of these pagers. They're explosives, they're booby traps,
they're trojan horses. There, it's a trick. It's a trap.
We got to get rid of them. And then they
hear something beeping and they all look at Cassim. They're like,
Troy or whatever his name might be. I thought we
told you to get rid of those. I was going
to and more of them blew up. Tell me it's

(01:01:13):
not one of the best stories, not just a twenty
twenty four but of ever could be the century.

Speaker 3 (01:01:19):
That's twenty five years so far.

Speaker 2 (01:01:21):
Ye, So Lucy, can we do that? Oh my gosh,
that's true. So when you say that the necklaces might
be a trap, I think that that it's probably accurate.
So that's uh, that's weird. But I don't know. May
take it for what it is. It's like, hey, sorry,

(01:01:42):
we held you captive. Here's a necklace and some pictures.

Speaker 3 (01:01:48):
I think you're your second idea that it was meant
to just be kind of insulting and could be that
just makes more sense.

Speaker 2 (01:01:55):
I don't know. I don't understand other cultures. There is
a story here from South America, Sorry South America, South
Africa's Zulu Kingdom. I watched Zulu. That's where we watch
only murders in the building. No, that's Hulu. Oh, South
Africa's Zulu Kingdom. There was an effort here by the

(01:02:18):
first wife of the king of the Zulu nation. She
was suing to block her husband's attempt to take on
a third wife. Apparently she was okay with wife number two,
but she did not like numer three. So she said, ah,
I'm going to sue.

Speaker 3 (01:02:37):
Was it just number three or was it just the
idea of a number three.

Speaker 2 (01:02:41):
I don't know, I'm gonna say it was probably specifically
number three. All right, so she's number one, number two
was in the picture, and then number three was all right.
I wonder if number two was also like, yeah, I
don't like number three either. You should sue knowing like

(01:03:02):
if you do it, you're gonna be beheaded or something.
What I think is funny is that, obviously in a
nation where women have about as much status as your
average average dead cat, like, she tells her husband the
king of Zulu Kingdom, I'm gonna sue you. Where in
the world does she think that she was gonna get

(01:03:24):
away with that? Who is gonna go tell the king
of Zulu nation? Yeah? The uh, the officials all ruled
and said, you can't do that.

Speaker 3 (01:03:33):
Do women have the ability to do it? That they
have freedom there?

Speaker 2 (01:03:40):
No, okay, they have nothing. And so the you know,
they came back and they said, yeah, it turns out
no one cares what you think. But the husband decided
not to marry number three, Well then it worked just no.
The story said the that the husband felt that number

(01:04:02):
three was too bossy and manipulative and decided not to
marry her. Anyway more than number one. The King was
probably impressed, Like, why you're gonna stand up to me?
I barely even knew you were here.

Speaker 3 (01:04:16):
That's bossy and manipulative.

Speaker 2 (01:04:18):
Hey one, come on over here, make me a sandwich.
I sue you. No one's ever talked to me like
this before. I like it. And then she had on
that Milannia Trump hat made her look like the hamburglar.

Speaker 2 (01:04:38):
Kfab yesterday afternoon, Lucy, I was doing Emery Songers show,
He's back today two to six here after Clay and Buck.
And that's when I got the word that we lost
Walt Peffer. Walt Peffer, seventy eight years old, had been

(01:04:58):
serving his community, his country in any capacity since he
was a member of the one hundred and ninety sixth
Light Infantry Division of our United States Army during Vietnam.
Since that he came back here to Omaha. He worked
for various mayors, chief of staff, and whatever else they needed.

(01:05:22):
And I, you know, i'd heard the name Waltpeffer because
of his association with city hall, but I'd never met
the guy until it's probably about eighteen years ago. I'd
just been hired here back in my hometown of Omaha
by news radio eleven ten KFAB moved back here from
Kansas City. I'm getting to kind of no people again

(01:05:43):
and see some people I hadn't seen or in some
cases hadn't really had any contact with or any association
at all with since I was a kid. And so
for whatever reason, former mayor PJ. Morgan was going to
come in and I said, yeah, we'll talk to Mayor Morgan.
Absolutely Morgan comes in here and he brings with him
this guy and he's like, I want to put him

(01:06:05):
on the air too, And I could not have been
more annoyed. Who's this guy no one wants to hear from?
Walt Peffer. PJ. Morgan's like, this is Walt Peffer. You know,
if people got to get to know him, he's gonna
run for something. I don't remember what Walt was running for.
He ran for something and he lost, and then at

(01:06:26):
some point he decided to run again for something. And
I thought, is Walpeffer going to be one of these
guys that just runs for stuff and loses? But I
liked Walt. I enjoyed talking to him. And then he
had the audacity to win and become Douglas County Assessor
and Register of Deeds in the twenty twenty two election,

(01:06:49):
and he could not have been more excited to get
to work getting yelled at by Nebraska homeowners and business
owners who got their assessments back from the county. And
he even came here on the radio on this show
took calls from listeners for an hour as people are like,
I don't know, are you people get off assessing the
value of my home at this amount of money. I
could never sell it for this amount of money. Why

(01:07:10):
don't you buy it for ninety five percent what you
assessed it for. You'll make money. It's a great deal.
And Walt Peffer would calmly say, I agree, it's a
bad deal. It's the fault of the legislature and we
need to work together to change it. And these callers
are like, oh, okay, well, well, good luck. Waltpeffer wanted
to do that work so bad. He sent me three

(01:07:33):
long page proposals of here's what we're presenting to the
legislature to try and change how we need to do
assessments and valuations in the counties. He wanted to do
the work so bad. He wanted to do something good
for our community, and I hope whoever it ends up
being our next Register of Deeds and Assessor takes up
where Walt Peffer left off. Great Man Gone at seventy eight.
